Posted June 1, 200519 yr ESPN Game Recap One of Burnett's fastballs was clocked at 104 mph on the PNC Park scoreboard. :o
June 1, 200519 yr And you know they're not inflating the number to impress the fans with the speed of the visiting pitcher's fastball. Probably a little inaccurate but still...that's insane.
June 1, 200519 yr Crazy. During the FSN broadcast I saw it hit 101mph. 791247[/snapback] Don't forget that Craig's favorite thing to do during a broadcast is inform us of the velocitiy of pitches that come in fast. He does this because we can't see it on the top of the screen for ourselves, of course :plain
June 1, 200519 yr I wonder as a closer how far would it reach. Imagine one of those Billy Wagner fastballs followed by one of his badass knuckle curves. I wouldn't mind seeing him in a closing role in the latter part of his career.

June 1, 200519 yr The home team was probably pumping up the gun for Oliver Perez to give the fans something to cheer about... little did they know Burnett can reach 100 without the help
June 1, 200519 yr and after that reading they turned off the radar gun to recalibrate it and it went back to "only" 99 and 100mph.
June 1, 200519 yr you know what the B.S thing about this is Aj is not getting the recognition, Nolan Ryan Hit 104 back in the Day and everyone consider that Legit...well not everyone but, They barely had Colored TV back then with the technology today its probally accurate
